wilcal Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Very cool! Quote nonstop flights from Trinidad leave on Tuesdays at 1:05 am and arrive at 5:20 am Ouch. Quote Direct flights back to POS via Guyana leave on Wednesdays with BW701 leaving IAH at 8:20pm, arriving in Georgetown at 4:35 am and then continuing on to POS arriving at 7:00am. Yiiiiiikes. I'm sure that is better than some alternatives to get to Guyana. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to fly to Miami and connect from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UA has flown nonstop since 2004, stopping only with COVID, but that service resumed last December as 4 times/week and is scheduled to be daily again in June. The POS-IAH nonstops are essentially the same timing as BW, but the IAH-POS nonstops leave around 1730 and arrive at 0030, so not as torturous. This link indicates the route is 3x weekly, however, but is seasonal and ending June 30, which strikes me as odd. Lots of ground time at IAH on both turns (from 0520 to 2020 on Tuesdays and 2235 to 1335 overnight Wed-Thurs), I guess because they are using same crew on outbound as inbound and the aircraft is "resting" with the crew.

The Voice of University Oaks Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It looks like this service has ended. I guess they couldn't make it work. Too bad, as it was rather unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
